It is with immense joy that this year I have won my first title on the other side of the Atlantic, that of Champion ALMS LMP2 2011.
 When I was a little boy,  I used to dream about the USA…the new world, as we said…where everything is possible. But as it happened, my wish did not come true in the form of a holiday, but thanks to motorsport.   And when I signed a contract with the Porsche Kremer team in 1995, I didn’t know at the time that I would, on my first-ever visit, win one of the biggest races in the USA…the 24 Hours of Daytona.
Since starting motorsport, I have taken part in many different Championships.
This year, I am celebrating 30 years in motorsport, with over 100 wins, including some of the greatest endurance races in the world, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Daytona and Spa.  I have taken part in 34 24-hour races, and competed at Le Mans on 18 occasions, more than any other driver currently racing.
The secret of this longevity is my family. They give me the equilibrium to in order to cope with this continuous pressure and the many journeys needed for a career in motorsportI have returned to the USA on many occasions to race, often with great success, as if the USA brings me luck.   But until I met Level 5, I had never had the opportunity to take part in a whole Championship in the USA.
With Level 5 motorsports my career has found a new lease of life, in a new world.  I took part in Level 5’s first race, and since 2008 we have remained together.
Thank you Level 5 Motorsports, Thank you Scott.
